According to House Judiciary Committee Democrats, a whistleblower has informed them that Maxwell was also getting preferential treatment in prison.
The 63-year-old British socialite and a convicted sex offender is serving a 20-year prison sentence for trafficking underage girls for Epstein.

In an email titled “commutation application,” Maxwell wrote to her lawyer, Leaf Saffian, “I am struggling to keep it all together as it is big and there are so many attachments,” the Democrats alleged.
In a letter to Trump on Monday, House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin demanded the administration release information about the commutation application and called on Trump to reject her request.
Maxwell “is preparing a ‘Commutation Application’ for your Administration to review, undoubtedly coming to you for your direct consideration. The Warden herself is directly helping Ms. Maxwell copy, print, and send documents related to this application,” the letter said, according to CBS News.
“You should not grant any form of clemency to this convicted and unrepentant sex offender. Your Administration should not be providing her with room service, with puppies to play with, with federal law enforcement officials waiting on her every need, or with any special treatment or institutional privilege at all,” Raskin’s letter to Trump read further, according to NBC News.

The letter also alleges that Maxwell is receiving preferential and lenient treatment at the Bryan Federal Prison Camp in Texas. She transferred from a low-security prison in Tallahassee, Florida, to Bryan over the summer after meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to discuss the Epstein case.
“Federal law enforcement staff working at the camp have been waiting on Ms. Maxwell hand and foot,” the letter said.
According to the whistleblower, Maxwell is provided a special cordoned-off area for visitors to arrive for private meetings where they were allowed to bring computers, which is an “unprecedented action by the Warden given the security risk and potential for Ms. Maxwell to use a computer to conduct unmonitored communications with the outside world.”
